I've been running gdcparties.com for a few years now. Some shitty company BlueberryAI decided they'd just take all the source code for the work I've done and reskin it, advertising it as their own. Jokes on them...it was still linked to my events spreadsheet, and now their website looks like this 😉

tumblr post by user sapphling from August of 2023 reading: "sitting anti-kink posters down in front of a wrestling match and explaining kayfabe to them with the patience of a preschool teacher"

"You see that one? He's called the "heel." He looks mean and says a lot of scary things, but it's not real and he's actually very nice. When he says "I'm going to break you in half" you don't have to be scared because it's pretend. These two talked about this beforehand, and now they're playing pretend together. Can you think of any other situations that might be like this?

Then they have screenshotted tags left on their post by another user reading: "crying screaming and throwing up when you tell me the undertaker didn't REALLY die and come back to life all those times"

sapphling follows that with "no that part was real"

Love my library to DEATH. My old one in Orlando had a professional-grade flight simulator, cockpit and all, for absolutely ANYONE to use so long as they signed up for some time using their card. Gotta love civic resources.

... are they? i have a region-free USB Blu-Ray player + a copy of MakeMKV and besides the fact that it can't handle UHD (I bought the player in high school), it handles everything I care to throw at it fine.

In regards to urbanism, if anything, I think this study is a great argument for getting more greenspaces, flora, trees into cities (trees and plants dampen sound!) (and all the other benefits of greenery!!)

YOU are capable of utterly unique breathtaking art. every single person reading this is a miracle of existence, and you have infinite masterpieces of creation just spilling off of you all the time. there is no reason to compare yourself to the infinite masterpieces of anyone else. theres enough room

we are all making choices every day, we are given opportunities to support our peers or to tear them down. unfortunately, i think some folks find themselves falling into a pattern of aggression regarding the success of others. yes, it becomes ingrained, but it is NOT innate. theres a huge difference

to me, what is says is some folks think their jealousy or pettiness or unkindness towards their creative peers, is INNATE. they read 'youll have a hard time finding success if youre a prick' as 'youll have a hard time finding success.' and the point of me writing all this is to say: YOU CAN CHOOSE

well, one issue is fairness. is it FAIR to want to work with people who are kind and treat others with dignity? is it FAIR to disinvite a raging asshole from your party? i dont know. but i am certainly not surprised by it. humans like to be around other humans who are kind to them. animals too.

you dont even have to say that you AGREE with this practice or not, just saying that it EXISTS is enough to spark rage. i get fury for posting simple fact that: 'i have known assholes coming up in many art fields and every single one of them has faceplanted because of it.' SO WHAT DOES THAT SAY?

everyone KNOWS that people hire friends for jobs. everyone KNOWS that people pick their buds for big opportunities. folks GO TO CONVENTIONS FOR THIS REASON. yet when you just kind of say it out loud in the realm of writing or music or acting or painting, the reaction is HEATED from certain buckaroos

and i think THAT is the key. its not just kindness, it is the idea that ANYTHING other than the art on the page would have sway over your place as an artist. this, of course, is very funny because artistic 'success' has never been based on pure artistic merit, just like every other type of 'success'

the first thing i should point out is that it is not just me that gets these reactions. other folks have posted similar things and gotten TORN APART for it. so this seems to be a sort of universal subliminal anger towards the idea that kindness should have any value in the world or creatives

literally there will be a sea of posts saying things like 'imagine chuck tingle DESTROYING your career because you are mean,' things like that, which is just VERY BIZARRE interpretation but i DO think it is curious. what is it about kindness that brings such a visceral reaction from some creators?

it is so funny to me that of all the things i have ever posted about art, the most controversial take WITHOUT QUESTION is when i say that the best thing you can do if you want a career as an artist is to be KIND to your peers. folks get SO upset by that one, which i think is unfortunately telling

i adopted gnocchi from the humane society recently, and she has really really come out of her shell. she went from shy, hiding under my bed and nervous but loving to this hyperactive chirping freak that demands i be on the floor with her at all times. her birthday is on feb 7 and she is one year old

we do not have to have Fandom Bad rhetoric to have these conversations

it's... (general you here) y'all do know and understand that social media and our current news cycle thrives off of and rewards negativity and drama, right you do understand that applies to what fandom posts get spread around and how fandom gets covered right right?

Antonia Taylor @antoniataylordesign.com · 24/02/2026

but so much of that conversation is paired with Fandom Bad rhetoric or that any fandom that reaches a certain size is *guaranteed* to become a toxic wasteland and it makes me feel i'm like going crazy

and from there, there's conversations to be had about how we deal with those all the consequences, because the internet is a pandora's box. cat's out of the bag.

Antonia Taylor @antoniataylordesign.com · 24/02/2026

the internet and mass communication has done a lot to eradicate the lines between creator and fan, who has or doesn't have media access, the character versus the actor, etc and a lot of consequences have sprung from this eradication of lines. some of them are good, but some of them are really awful
